Petrus CHRYSOLANUS
9. CHRYSOLANUS or GROSOLANUS, was archbishop of Milan, A. D. 1110, having previously held some less important see. He was sent by Pope Paschal II. on a mission to the emperor Alexius I. Comnenus, and engaged eagerly in the controversy on the procession of the Holy Spirit.

Πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα κύριον Ἀλέξιον τὸν Κομνηνόν λόγος, κ. τ. λ. Ad Imperatorems Domninum Alexium Comnenum Oratio, &c.
His only title to be noticed in this work, within the limits of which he does not properly fall, is derived from his having composed Πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα κύριον Ἀλέξιον τὸν Κομνηνόν λόγος, κ. τ. λ. Ad Imperatorems Domninum Alexium Comnenum Oratio, &c., designed to prove the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Son as well as from the Father.
